a friend who'd wait :)
#im posting this very late because i was sort of weary of how it came out and ended up messing w it until it was like 4am oops.
#and i have plans tmrw so... oh well! i did my best and ill put it out while i can!
#and i tried to make the scene match barnard's colors lol
#finn's ocs
#finn's art
#i know i said id do more sillay stuff with the simpler screentone only style but i had a couple more of these in me
#and this is the first piece im making thats like an actual part of the story too rather than just setting stuff for fun
#i wanna write something to go with it too but for now ill just sort of briefly explain the context in the tags here:
#barnard has a pretty bad case of OCD and his compulsions have made it difficult to make friends in the past
#he was never outright bullied or anything but people just didnt really have the patience to deal with it
#he has compulsions that include stuff like walking through doors until it feels right and needing things to be perfectly aligned
#which in group settings has lead to people having to wait for him to finish his rituals and join them
#they might find it tolerable at first but eventually they grow impatient and hes just... not invited to stuff anymore
#but juno is a newer member of the guild who ends up frequenting the same library. hes also kinda a little weird
#and they dont become fast friends or anything but just sort of naturally spend time in the same place
#though they never plan meetups they eventually fall into a routine. around the same time theyd just both be at the library
#and read next to each other. and maybe talk a bit. and eventually they end up walking back to the guildhall together
#since theyre going to the same place after all. and juno always waits for barnard outside the door
#eventually barnard asks if this bothers him. juno kinda just tells him 'of course it does' without any malice or anything. just a statement
#barnard is surprised and apologizes and juno says not to. but the next day juno doesnt show up at the usual time.
#barnard assumes hes committed somekinda more by bringing it up. he ends up staying there late reading to get his mind off it & not ruminate
#but when he leaves juno is in fact still waiting for him down the hall (see pic) having collected a bunch of books literally abt ocd
#he fell asleep bc barnard stayed later than expected. and hes an eepy guy generally. and also one very bad at expressing himself
#but now barnard gets that juno's 'of course it [bothers me]' had the implication of 'but its worth it' which no friend has previously done.
#and from the interaction juno was also able to understand that this isn't something barnard just does for the hell of it so. he studies.
#and checks a bunch of stuff out because he thinks it could help his friend too (theres ocd workbooks and such- i remember working w them)
#and thats the point where they became more ''friends'' than ''pleasant library acquaintances''
#from there on they also do get into juno's problems. whole other bag of worms. but this specific scene is more about bernard from his pov
#sorry about when i said briefly explain. i lied </3
#but compared to the whole sequence im picturing its brief so shhh
